Hey, i just setup my first water cooling system (thanks to anyone who helped me along the way, i really appreciate it.)

I have my X-Flow Stealth GTS 240 Black Ice radiator, and 2 120mm Dynex cooling fans. I know the radiator is m4 threaded but i dont know exactly what kind of inserts or what i need to mount the fans? I googled it but didnt find much. Can anyone give me some info or link me to what i need?

Thanks.
 
I just used 1 1/4" 6-32 screws (same size as you use everywhere else in your case) and a really thin washer. Now, first, I used 2" screws and overtightened them causing a hole in my rad. That wasn't cool, because these you can break very easily.

Just make sure your fan is at least 1inch thick (most are very close). The space between the finnage of the rad and the screwhole is less than 1/4 of an inch, so add a washer in (like I did) to eat up some of that gap... You really only want 3-4 threads showing on the side of the fan, ready to be screwed in.
